No cringing from this neck of the woods Lisa!! I wish I had an instrument! And you can play! I am just out here - hanging out with Hurdy Gurdy Envy, waiting to buy something so I can learn to play.......meanwhile it's just me and the dulcimer and HG List ....... You sound like you have proven there is music out there for all of us to go and create! Well done! TerryD

I can hear the cringing from here by some of the purists who have better instruments. However, the instrument is what I could afford. Through dint of ignorant trial and error, I have managed to get what I freely admit is a cheap student instrument to produce music and I have successfully entertained people with it. I also have no qualms about taking it to outdoor events and subjecting it to the elements. Do I want a better instrument some day? Sure, but right now I have to eat. In the meantime, I get to play!
